What to Expect From Nicko McBrain’s Autobiography<\/p>\n

Hello Boys and Girls! will chronicle the dizzying highs and devastating lows of McBrain’s 40-plus-year tenure with Iron Maiden, which began in 1982. McBrain, who retired from touring<\/a> in\u00a0December 2024 but remains an active member<\/a> of the band, will release the book in the United States on Nov. 10.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a real honor to write my very own autobiography and have the chance to walk down memory lane, revisiting all the experiences that have made me who I am and brought me to where I am today,” McBrain said in a statement<\/a>. “And I’m thrilled and delighted to be taking those stories on the road and share them all with you. I feel truly blessed to be able to say Hello Boys and Girls to you all in person later this year. We’re going to have a lot of fun together, so come and join me for a great night out. I’ve got a LOT of stories I want to tell you all!”<\/p>\n
